Finally some dry weather in our forecast, I was starting to think our Long Island Cheese pumpkins were not going to make it. They are getting close, and with some cool and dry weather ahead I think they will be good. Our fall tomatoes on the hand, are not looking so great, I am not sure we will get any big heirlooms, hoping that changes but they look rough after all the rain we have gotten. We will be adding some other fall crops as soon as they are ready.

The farm not only grows multiple varieties of over 30 types of vegetables, but in recent years has added fruit trees and flowers.
